What an exciting and satisfying ALDS for the Astros. Three (or was it four) nail-biting games that each came out in favor of our hometown team, ensuring the Astros their record sixth straight ticket to the ALCS.
Enough has been said about the Alvarez home runs that were instrumental in winning Games One and Two. Or the incredible pitching by the Astros bullpen throughout, but especially in the 18 inning, 1-0 Astros win in Game Three. And especially the five innings that closed out Game Three that made cha-cha-cha Luis Garcia the winning pitcher. Here I would like to discuss a few unsung heroes, a few topics, and leave the comments open for any observations that you, the readers, would like to add.
